Samsung Galaxy S5 Rumored to be Powered by 64-Bit Exynos 6 Processor

The next generation of Samsung Galaxy S flagship smartphone will be powered by a 64-bit processor.

According to South Korean news site Digital Daily, the Galaxy S5 will run on a new Exynos 6 processor developed by Samsung. The news site claims that the processor will utilize a 14nm process and implement ARM big.LITTLE architecture where there are low-power Cortex-A53 cores and more powerful Cortex-A57 cores to handle workloads of different intensities.

The Korea Times reported last month that Samsung’s mobile business chief Shin Jong-kyun said that the next generation of Galaxy-branded smartphones will have 64-bit processing capability. 64-bit processors can process twice the amount of data compared to the previous generations of chipsets. 64-bit processors also can handle code for more demanding apps such as graphics-intensive games.
